The phenomenon of broken teeth is called "tooth trauma" in medicine, that is, some injuries to teeth caused by external forces. Many people only pay special attention to broken teeth, but in fact, there are several manifestations of tooth injury, such as: some are as intangible as "concussion", called "tooth shock"; Some teeth are broken like "fracture", which is called "tooth fracture"; Others, such as joint dislocation, even completely divorced from the human body, are called "tooth dislocation". The occurrence of tooth trauma is often sudden. If you want to minimize tooth loss, you must see a doctor as soon as possible.

Do you have to pull out a broken tooth?

Tooth fracture is a common tooth trauma, which can also be divided into three types: crown fracture, root fracture and both crown and root fracture. In general, crown fracture can be observed directly, and root fracture needs to be diagnosed by taking photos.

After the crown is broken, a large part can be retained without tooth extraction.

After the root is broken, the treatment is relatively complicated. If one third of the root tip is broken, there is no need for root therapy. If the broken part is located in one third of the root, it needs splint fixation; When the root fracture is close to the gum, the crown can be removed, the root can be preserved, and the crown can be repaired after root canal treatment. ?

A broken tooth can grow back.

Don't throw away your teeth! ! ! Because it is very likely to "grow" back to its original position with the help of a doctor. This method of making teeth grow back is called "tooth replantation", and the key to the success of tooth replantation is that the shorter the time of tooth emergence, the better, preferably within half an hour.
